12:00 am
liz: you have heard the real story about real este and some of followers are worrying about housing. >> my greatest concern is getting back the money i spent upgrading my home. >> we're not told the truth. if unemployment has not abated how it is housing great? disconnect. >> house on the market almost three years not even an offer. that is a concern. liz: keep watching throughout the night we have spent all over this story
12:01 am
throughout the day. meals of food will be back next week for the address to the nation coverage starts at 8:00 p.m.. have a great weekend. stay warm. thank you for your time.aaaaaaa. i'm going to dry to drive hem. david, be safe. me liz is is next. melissa: here's what "money" tonight. it's the real estate story, america. housing coming barks, but is it? what are the biggest mistakes that people are making in the market? four industry heavy weights to weigh in. plus, caught red handed. a legal iranian weapons seized
12:02 am
in yemen revealing arms sales that could destabilize the region. is the u.s. doing enough to stop iran? chrissy-- governor christie approves legislation in new jersey. will it give the economic boost lawmakers claim? even when they say it's not, it's always about "money." ♪ melissa: start by taking the pulse of the real estate market on "money," and fox business reported on it all day long, and the good news, mortgage applications rose by 1.8% in januarfrom december. that is the highest level in 18 months. how solid is the real estate recovery? with me isour all-star power pam. look at this. madison is the coldwl banker
12:03 am
from the hit show, "million dollar lsting: l.a.," bruce ike maren, chairman of the continuing company, and dot tie, and jeff is chairman of douglas and development. welcome to all of you. bruce, starting with you. is real estate really back because we have been burned, baby. >> it is back in a very big weigh. the condo market in the major environments is on fire. melissa: really? dottie, do you agree with that? yeah, real estate is back, buy, buy, buy. i heard that before. tell me in a convincing way. >> no, it's back. in fact, new york a year and a half ago, but back across the country, and there's also a shortage of inventory you have to buy it and buy it quick. melissa: that's a good sales pitch. madison, in l.a., things flying off the lot there, i was going to say "shelf," but there's not the shelf. >> flying off the cove, yes.
12:04 am
they are flying, and the market has taken off exciting, this year, so far, we had a big sale of $75 milion in malibu with a foreign buyer. it's taking off to a good start. melissa: ridiculous. jeff, let me ask you, when i look at the lot of the markets that are on fire right now, it really concerns me because it looks like all the same problems that we saw last time around, for example, one of the markets you think is going to do the best is phoenix. i know zillow projectses prices in phoenix could be up 8.5% next year. that makes me nervous. >> the reality is that the phoenix market was in the midst of a boom when the recession arrivedded. as a result of that, it suffered most greatly. all the people involved in the industry of creating real estate, selling real estate, financing real estate lost jobs and growth stopped. now that the market corrected to the levels that existed prior to the boom going back to 2,000,
12:05 am
you can buy homes in the greater phoenix area and represent. area. melissa: what's changed? >> the prices bottomed. if you are buying at low prices, if you anticipate what the low mortgage rates, eventually, there's interest rates move up with the creation of the money the way it's going on. you will see appreciation in the form of interest driven inflation. i think contrary to what other people have been saying, buying housing now makes great sense. melissa: makes sense. bruce, one of the markets you pick as one of the best buys right now is san fransisco. that's another market that zillow says goes up 7.3% in 2013. i mean, that price appreciation in one year, i -- i mean, it sounds danger. why is it not dangerous? >> it's not a question of it being dangerous or in the being dangerous. the ct of the matter is san fransisco and new york are the two cities in the united states of america that have the
12:06 am
greatest barrier to entry. the demand for housing far exceeds the ability of the marketplace to produce that housing. the appreciation is really based upon the inbalance between supply and demand. melissa: uh-huh. new york as well, by zillow thinks it's up half a percent in new york, one of the worst places to buy. >> you can't believe zillow. you really have to -- [laughter] i mean, if you -- if you look at what people said about housing, they said that nobody would buy houses anymore, and it was over. melissa: do you think prices in new york are going up half a percent? >> prices in new york city, and when they take new york, new york state is in effect. new york city, we are back to the prices that we were at the boom. we're at 98% of the value of the homes before the boom. melissa: anything changed? >> financing, much harolder. melissa: you have to have more money? >> yes, and very, very good
12:07 am
credit. melissa: what changed? l.a. is an area, i have friends hurt out there, bought their home, collapsed, underwater. it's hd to believe zillow says l.a. is going up 7.3% in the next yearment i don't know. i mean, across the board or just really high end places, you know, the valley is in the dull drums. >> well, you know, i think the biggest change seen out here in los angeles locally speaking and speaks for the country as well that the attitude, more than anything, has really shifted. people think that buying real estate is now is a good investment. it's tangible. you can rent it out if you're in a pinch. prices declined it a point where people are in the ability to afford and purchase and get the loanare doing that, and investors entered the market again. they are driving the market and people are fighting for that little inventory that we have. melissa: what the biggest mistake and misconception someone has done, made, or say in the past little bit?
12:08 am
jeff, go ahead. >> as a developer, pick the spots intelligently. for instance, the recovery seen in new york, after we went down 20% in the ecession, 11-and-12, retraced that, and exceeding that now. there's areas where the demographics of young people, whether it's in the chelsey area or williamsburg-brooklyn area, where people choose to live because the price point is more affordable, and all the sudden, the areas are booming. know the demographics, know who is buying in what areas. for instance, if you go to the suburbs in new york city or phoenix, the middle range homes have not recovered as have the commodity homes nor the luxuy homes. you have to know your spots. >> bruce, what's the biggest mistake made in the past year? >> i think the biggest mistake people made is they followed the news, and the news led, and the news lags reality. melissa: the media? >> it's not the media, but the
12:09 am
fact of the matter is that three things are true. one, there's not much inventory. two, prices for rentals are at record highs, an, three, interest rates are at lows that they have never been before so the fact of the matter is if you qualify for credit, and, i mean, instead of being afraid of what zillow says or the schiller case says, be intelligent and thoughtful about it. this is probably as good an opportunity to buy because the markets have corrected themselves. melissa: yeah. >> if you're going to rent, you are going to pay a premium, and whenever -- when the news turns around and starts writing articles about -- melissa: it's too late at that point. what's the biggest mistake seen in the past little bit here? >> well, that's exactly it. they read the stuff. do your own home work, okay? look at your individual market. those who write reports, write reports, okay? as i said, people that should
12:10 am
have bought, didn't, and look at the interestrates, they are 3.5%. a year or two years from now, okay, they are going to be a lot higher. you know, you're going to have inflation, and so that's -- melissa: madison, what's the biggest mistake out there recently? >> 2011, that was the mistake if you didn't buy. melissa: i like that. before we go, i also read if you list on friday versus sunday, it means that you could end up selling the house for $5,000 more than average of 1%. we're talking about $5,000 on a half million dollar home. bruce, is that true? >> i have no idea. melissa: want that one? >> just sounds good. melissa: we'll throw that autothe window. >> no, i'll tell you -- i list the homes on friday because you actually have an 18% chance of somewhere, i read, i think the national association of realtors, they sell faster. people are home for the weekend, and they are searching, and they
12:11 am
see the new envine story, -- inventory, they come and search the house and buy faster and you sell it for more because there's no price adjustment. melissa: thank you. appreciate it. >> thanks. >> thank you. melissa: a money update on the squatter two took over a home in florida. the florida sate attorney determined a trespassing charge could apply, and police say andre barbosa, the 23-year-old who lived there since december could face criminal charges. bank of america that opens the house is seeking $15,000 in damages. fox news is following the story, steve, give us the latest here. >> water front mansion, worth $2.5 million where a brazil nan national squatted with seven other people for the past two months. now, 1 p.m. yesterday, police swarmed the scene here, looking
12:12 am
for him, who calls himself loki boy onocial media. didn't find him, but they found trash, which they pulled out. they have since changed the locks. the neighbors here extremely concerned bout having a squatter in their tony naind. some hired their own private security. one woman offered to buy the house away from bank of america, the owner, just to get rid of the squatter. they say now that the situation appears to have been resolved. they are experiences some real relief. >> i think we'll sleep better. i feel like the neighborhood will be quieter, eventually, maybe not today, but maybe tomorrow. >> we're finally relieved we're going to go back to normal. >> as far as the squatter, himself, loki boy, it's not clear where he is. police are not looking for him, and, currently, there's no warrant out for his arrest. melissa: you talked to local officials because there's copy cat cases; right? >> that's right.
12:13 am
this is really an obscure law called adverse possession, and it was written in the 1800s in florida used for farmland initially to try to make sure the fields don't go fallow while they are not worked, but, instead, squatters try to use the old obscure law to justify getting into foreclosed houses and take possession of them if they hang on for seven years and pay the taxes. right now, because of it, officials are trying to get that law off the books. >> we don't need people who move in houses, who are con people. it's just a cop game. no one need this in their neighborhood. we don't need it in the state of florida. >> so while loki boy is gone, he's left a string of copycats in the wake, and 11 in the past two weeks have filed these adverse possession rules to try to get in on some major properties. one of the houses bigger than
12:14 am
the one behind me, a $4 million ocean front mansion now occupied by squatters who say they have a legal right to be there. melissa? melissa: steve, wow, quite a story m thanks so much. now turning to today's market moment. the blizzard slamming the northeast led to aquiet day on the wall street. dow briefly crossed the 14,000 mark, all three majors posted modest gains. the dow, however, snapped a five-week winning streak. meanwhile, nasdaq and s&p 500 had sixth straight weekly gains. next on "money," the roof is blown off in a legal arms smuggling operation by iran, but it reveals a bigger plot o shake up the middle east. we have alarming details coming up. plus, blizzards are annoying, but this time it is personal. why this massive storm is making one very sad 5-year-old boy in florida. more "money" straight ahead. more "money" straight ahead. ♪ this is $100,000.

12:18 am
melissa: turning now to really alarming news about a shipment of illegal arms from the iranian government to insur gents in yemen. sources tell fox news that the
12:19 am
weapons were an attempt by the owing iranian regime to destabilize the middle east further, but at what cost? is the u.s. doing enough to stop them? judy miller, senior fellow at the manhattan institute and fox news contributor. welcome back to the how. i mean, this is a really alarming story; right? >> just part of the a pan tern by the iranians to destalize all of the government that have already been destabilized by the arab spring. now, in yemen, you have 25 million people, the poorest country in the middle east that's had a terrible time trying to get its act together, and along come the iranians with a shipment of very powerful, if old weapons, that are cheap on the black market, but 100,000 doll missile shot from the shoulder, and it can actually take out a helicopter so you're -- a $10 million piece of equipment. melissa: in fact, the list here, antiaircraft missiles, explosives, silenced automatic
12:20 am
weapons, iranian made night vision goggles. i know -- >> right. melissa: yemen's president dended iran stop sending the weapons, and the iranians said it was not us. >> exactly, not us, of course not. it just happened to be a ship that was loaded off the iranian shore. now, the crew was yemen, but everything else, the make of the equipment, the ammo, and we know the weapons were apparently destined to rebels, fellow shiites, a different kind, but that, the government is sunni, so there's a sunni-shia conflict, a civil war, a terrible time with that, there's separationists in the south, and the tribal shiites in the south, it could go shout quickly. that's what they are trying to do. melissa: is that what it's about? supporting people who have the
12:21 am
same philosophical, religious beliefs, but it's not about that. it's about distracting and make the region unstable? >> exactly. it's about power. the iranians want to be the dominant regional power in the middle east. they think they've always been it historically. they want to see a shia correction throughout the middle east. yemen is a perfect target, and that's why it's very interesting that these arms were intercepted with the help of the u.s. navy. melissa: it's upsets because it seems like unfortunately it would be low on the list of priorities. there's a lot of fires burning in this region right now. we have a lot of problems with iran. this wouldn't be near the top of the list, but it's something, i don't know, can we do anything about it? >> it's hard, for example, there's 200 islands that are part of yemen. think of all the possibilities for landing stuff. this is the one shipment we caught. how many others have there be that we have not caught? melissa: right. there's probably nothing that we can do? >> it's very hard. we can help the yemen navy be
12:22 am
proactive. i mean, it's a country that is very poor and can't ford the sophisticated tracking equipment that we can. this is the technoogical assistance we can provide. melissa: same thing, though, where we try to enter, you know, a conflict, there's a conflict going on with yemen, and iran chose a side. as we try to choose a side, you never know who you are dealing with, though. >> right. we know the government says they want to do the right thing by all of its people. it's trying to be more democratic and less corrupt, more effective, and i think the united states is backing it, and it's very hard bet because yemen is a very unstable country. melissa: at the same time, i read reports in the "new york times" for example saying things in iran are not as tough as we think it is, that sanctions are not having a huge impact, and the people are not as poor as it seems. do you believe the reports? >> i think the sanctions are cutting the iranians, the big question for me that i really
12:23 am
doubt, i do not think that the sanctions, however, severe, are going to lead the iranian leadership to change their mind about developing nuclear weapons p. i don't think they are going to change iranian mind about reestablishing themselves and their country and their brand of islam as the dominant brand of the middle east. melissa: what can we do about them obtaining nuclear weapons. seems like nothing except force. >> i think that, well, you know, those who said, "let's talk," must be concerned about the fact that the supreme leader, himself, has now shot down one-on-one talks with the iranians. we are back to six-party talks that went nowhere for ten years. i think that at some point if we don't act, the israelis may feel theyave to, but, again, that's a very difficult proposition for the united states because that could drag us into conflict too. i on't see any signs that president obama is consiring military action at this time.
